As a seasoned cinema enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of Hollywood from the golden age to the digital era, I wholeheartedly admire Jamie Lee Curtis‘ unique approach to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment on film sets. Her thoughtful initiative of requesting crew members to wear name tags not only dismantles the inherent hierarchy but also promotes a sense of camaraderie among all involved in the production process.
Jamie Lee Curtis shared during an episode of Kevin Hart’s SiriusXM podcast, “Gold Minds” (as reported by Entertainment Weekly), that she requests crew members to wear name tags while working with her on movie and TV sets. This practice helps maintain equality on set, as the Oscar-winning actress and current Emmy nominee for “The Bear” aims to eliminate the natural hierarchy between actors and the crew since it’s common knowledge who the actors are in most cases. In simpler terms, she wants everyone involved in her projects to feel valued and recognized equally.
“Curtis discussed with Hart the significant imbalance on a film set. ‘You’re well-known, but we aren’t. It feels unfair,’ he said. ‘If we were all collaborating, we’d all wear nametags so I could greet everyone by name easily, like ‘good morning, Sabine’, without having to think twice because I’ve learned your names.'”
“Curtis emphasized, ‘I prefer fairness as it holds significance.’ He explained, ‘Art doesn’t recognize rank or structure. Instead, it’s about unity, a collective endeavor.'”
In the making of “Halloween” in 2018, Curtis requested that her team members wear identification badges. Before the horror reboot’s premiere, she shared with THR that her crew reciprocated her respect by switching their tags to Curtis’ character’s name, Laurie Strode, during filming of the final scene.
“Curtis shared that this was his final scene before he was due to return home to be reunited with his family. As he approached the set, the entire team stood in solemn unity, their hands at their backs. Each person wore a name tag, and the tag read, ‘We are Laurie Strode.'”
“Curtis added, ‘They were expressing their support by saying, “We’re right there with you, Jamie, at this very moment.” They acknowledged they couldn’t assist you as you tackle this task solo in a pickup truck. Yet, they have faith in you, identifying with you because they see themselves in you.’ This moment, Curtis confided, might be the pinnacle of his career.”
Curtis and Hart are currently teaming up in the big-screen version of “Borderlands,” based on Eli Roth’s video game, and it’s showing in cinemas across the country right now.
